Current book(s) you're reading?

Ravenous, by Eve Elliot.

Fictional account of teens with eating disorders.

I'm not very far, but it's beautiful. I like how the author is able to control the emotions of each scene so well. It's very alive.
 
I just finished All You Need is Love: the Beatles in Their Own Words by Peter Brown and Steven Gaines.

Now reading Testimony: the Memoirs of Dmitri Shostakovich, as related to and edited by Solomon Volkov.
 
I'm re-reading the Warriors series by Erin Hunter (pseudonym), for the first time in its English original. Feeling a bit awkward after all the "adult" books in this thread, but they're awesome. If anyone likes cats and fantasy, I can recommend them.
 
For stimulation, "Lila" by Robert Persig. Before sleep, "The Far Side Gallery" by Gary Larson.
